Given the initial success, here's a closer at what probably the most changed car in the grid, the @AstonMartinF1 AMR22.

Given the car's pace, the floor edge is very simple so far.
Just a single section, scroll and cut out. No floor edge flap.
There's a lot of development potential in this area.

Most noticable is the extreme waterslide set up.
Directing flow towards the beam wing/diffuser to added downforce.
The actual size of the gulley is hard to gauge. But, there's a lot of flat level floor exposed around the back of the car.

Getting the extreme ramped slide to work is aided by the downwash of the front suspension and mirror supports

Underneath is a reapportioned cooling package. Less in the sidepod, more on the centreline

The added centreline cooling requires a reshaped roll structure, now squarer in front profile for more inlet area. With a wide legged layout.

As with all cars this year there's minimal paint, aided by the gulleys being left unpainted.
